They're good at dictating, which only works when they have all of the power.
When they actually need to *negotiate*, it's like when I suddenly needed to study in college: they have no idea how, they think they know everything and reject the possibility that they may not, they're not willing to do anything they don't feel like doing, and so they usually fail.
